HI, I was prescriped 75MG pregabalin twice daily maybe 6 years ago, then up to 150mg twice daily a few years later and eventually 300MG twice daily for the past few years now.I am a "fairly" young male and this is prescribed for GAD which i think works amazingly. However I have an issue where I am unable to come to the end of the story in between the sheets. I have no need for the Viagra!
I understand this to be that the medication changes your nerve endings all over your body.I have a great desire however I have issues.
I once tried a few years ago whilst fed up and not thinking clearly to cut pregabalin and lasted I think 48 hours. At the end of this 48 hours i could feel my eyelashes tingle, every part of my body. When a car door closed i got a fright, I was on edge. All my senses heigtened and i turned into a person with a sex drive of a 16 year old boy. But I had to go straight back on the tablets and I knew stopping the tablets was a silly thing to do.
I would rather have the pregabalin, and no GAD and put up with the issue above however this is a great enjoyably part of life that brings people closer together and it is a shame to miss out on this.
My question is - is there anyone that has succesfully found another medication to work alongside pregabalin which brings back this feeling? I did contact my GP and ask online via askmygp due to the issue and they said that with this medication and SSSRI's there is no alternative but to decrease my dose to see if this helps.
I have read old threads and saw similar issues but no answer as yet. Anyone any ideas? I dont want to reduce my dose as I know my GAD will return with a bang. I wish I could lol.
Many thanks
